Comedy and Tragedy

My life has taken a tragic turn.

At the same time, my life has exploded with comedy.

It's a very odd position. Comedy and tragedy.

Without comedy, I can say that my life wouldn't be as great. With comedy, Bryan and I can team up for a common goal (making people laugh) and have a great time. It's the perfect escape, the perfect therapy, the perfect distraction.

Last night, we cast 8 new college students to the team we coach. They were hilarious. And then we ran the show, and they did the best Henry I've ever seen. Absolutely perfect - great growth, hilarious characters, character arches, climax of the piece, perfect blackout line. Bryan and I couldn't believe it: our kids were brilliant. And we were able to enjoy a very funny show together.

I'm not sure if it's healthy to go from extreme lows to extreme highs, but that's what's happening. I'm okay with it. Mostly, because I have to be.

Without improv, this would suck even harder. Thank Del for Improv. (TDFI)
